Better Pics of the Cameron Bag

[ValleyO]

A custom order designed by LA boutique owner Cameron Silver and delivered after four months and three trips to Paris at a cost of $11,000. The exterior is indigo "grained calfskin" with a poitron chevre interior. It's being considered by Hermes for a wider release next year.


Personally I don't think it looks very practical as a tote or terribly attractive as a messenger, but the color combo is nice.

Is this from Departures? Thanks for posting. I didn't know how to scan it.

I like the tote version better than the messenger, it looks too busy imo. Thanks for sharing!

I love it . Not as much as his Mirkin, but Its nice
Isn't he going to be in Dallas in december sometime for something?
I'll totally purchase this if it becomes widely available.

Thanks for posting! And I agree with your assessments...

I actually think it's a great man-bag, and I'm another who likes the color combo. Clean and sporty, but still with a pop.
I had not seen that last photo before--that one wasn't in Departures, was it?

BTW Cameron got a shoutout from Stacy London last night on her new show, Fashionably Late. (Which BTW is a total snooze)

Actually, I like the Steve better, and I don't like the Steve all that much. Both this bag and the Steve looks too generic. Also, the two-tone leather looks rather cheesy to me. Maybe I'll have a better opinion if I see it in person. The Steve seems to be a more practical bag.

Thank you for posting. I don't really like it.

I agree that Steve looks very generic (which is part of the appeal of it for my DH) and although the Cameron is more interesting, the Steve is probably more practical. I didn't see that last photo in the Departures article, either...

Wait, is that one bag, or two? Does the top of the tote fold over to become a messenger? Either way, I agree with y'all-it's not a very graceful bag.

Thanks so much for posting. Not sure if I would get it though. Like the Herbags, I might just end up using it as one or the other. With the Herbags, I end up using only one. Not both. I mean, I doubt I'd interchange.

As a messenger bag, I think it would look rather silly lifting up the 'flap' and ticking your entire arm into the sleeve opening. Not too practical when you're in a hurry or when you're mobile(or when the mobile is ringing!).

As a tote, I think it looks lovely. But usage as both tote and messenger would leave it with a serious set of wrinkles and creases in the leather horizontally around the middle of the bag. And I doubt it would stand upright properly. And I wouldn't be able to carry anything else......not if I can't put it in the crook of my arm.

Will consider the Steve in Messenger or Sac de Voyage instead. Am hoping to get a voyage size Paris-Bombay by January.....saving up! Does anyone have any of these bags yet? I need to get more info.


Regards,


Eric
